同样重要的还有卡扎菲在2003年作出的决定,即允许英美专家参与其秘密武器研制计划,透露了一大批令人意外的全球走私网络情报。美国人得意地说,利比亚的幡然悔悟应成为某些国家的榜样,比如伊朗和朝鲜。(译者按:“change of heart”表示“change in attitude”,即“态度的转变”、“看法的转变”。既然美国人是“炫耀”,所以在他们看来,利比亚这是一种“悔悟”。)

Still, why the rush to e________④ ambassadors? One reason may be a rising feeling in Tripoli that being nice to America has brought little reward. (5)Rumblings[10] of dissent1, such as Mr Ibrahim's speech, may have prompted the Americans to make a gesture to prevent Mr Qaddafi from again slipping out of the fold.
